Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Purelight Cosplay's Bunny Tracer!

I've mentioned in a previous Feature how Overwatch has quickly taken the gaming community by storm. From dozens of memes to just about all the odd "ship" pairings you could make with the characters. Overwatch and its colorful collection of characters also make them prime targets for mash ups with dozens of other pop culture elements/icons. One such combination is what I have to share with you today. I can't remember if this was part of a group but the ever so beautiful Purelight Cosplay went and created a Playboy Bunny Suit version of Tracer. Course, the end result is nothing short of amazing. The outfit consists of Tracers signature leggings and a brown corset that wraps around and down towards her lower areas. There's also the addition of a white collar with an orange bow tie. Tracer's goggles can also be seen worn by Purelight as well as the pulsating circle that's in the center.

The circle is attached onto a white piece which in turn, is placed on the dead center of the corset! The boots and cuffs are both of a bright shine of white. The cuffs themselves are designed to have one part mimic the shape of Tracer's guns (at least that's what I believe they look like). The bunny ears are seen at the top with a white outline and orange inserts. The wig is also spot on and a gorgeous shade of brown. Getting back to the cuffs on her arms, they look to be comfortable to wear, especially the insides so my best guess would be foam was used in its construction. Pose wise, Purelight looks absolutely gorgeous with several shots showing off the booty. This of course referencing the ridiculous (in my opinion) controversy that the character came under fire for having one pose be "too sexual".

In any case, I love how Purelight is just owning the character in the photos. The editing adds in a blue filter of sorts and the first shot also includes blurring in reference to Tracer's ability of moving in a flash from place to place! I instantly fell in love with this cosplay when photos started popping up so hopefully you guys will too!

Purelight has been doing some absolutely stellar stuff. Especially with how confident she looks body wise. In addition to this Tracer, she's also done a super cute bikini version (that she made by the way), dozens of Starfires and other gorgeous cosplays. She's definitely someone I hope to meet one day so please check out her work! You won't be disappointed :)
